The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974)
This is one crazy, but highly entertaining hybrid of a movie, and I can’t recommend it enough. Consider this, a vampire horror movie, mixed with a traditional kung fu action flick. The final product is this; the Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires.
This was actually a co-production between Britain’s Hammer Studios and Hong Kong’s Shaw Brothers film company. It was co-directed by Roy Ward Baker and Chang Cheh, so you can expect it to work on both the horror level, and the action front.
Dracula travels to China, joins forces with a group of Chinese vampires, and terrorizes the country side. This leads to Peter Cushing (as Professor Van Helsing) teaming up with David Chiang and doing all that they can to eliminate the bloodsucking terrors.
Fun on a multitude of levels and highly imaginative, the movie is well-worth seeking out.
